Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“My brother passed recently and Roy and his team were great. All I remember Roy saying is " don't worry we will take care of everything". They were caring, compassionate, took the time to listen, and met our needs. Thank you too Roy and his staff at Leeks & Sons Funeral Home”
— Rachella Thompson
“Watch out for crooks. I was supposed to get money back for what I paid on my father's funeral in 2015, because he was murdered, the state of illinois was supposed to pay for his funeral. It has been almost 10 years. They still haven't given my money back. I think they kept it or gave it to a friend of theirs who was connection with my father.”
— Jenny Bryant
